'Little Paris'

a 'Little Paris' in London. Bute Street off the Brompton road is full of Frenchie cafes, charcuteries, boucheries, papeteries, French book stores...oh an Italian gelaterie... You'll hear lots of French spoken and see French kiddies with their au pairs, mainly because the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle is nearby... You think you're in London. You took the Eurostar from Paris. But in fact you're in 'Little Paris' - well that's what I call it...

Love your blog. It's my daily dose of virtual Paris even if it's 'Little Paris' in London... Makes me more intent and excited about fulfilling my life-dream of traipsing across Paris for days on end ...

I have lived in town for such a long time and yet didn't know about this little Parisien oasis. Thanks for helping me rediscover London though your inspiring eyes. Will be there asap to check it all out ;)

OH NO!Swiss Miss! Quelle disastrehave you tried French Hot Chocolate - L'Ancienneby Les Confitures a l'Ancienne Then cut it with a TB of Valrhona plain cocoa + a few chunks of dark chocolatemiam-miam!!!

Oh you don't know how much I have enjoyed this post of yours! I feel quite moved as I used to live right there and my two children were going to Charles De Gaulle :-) => the best cantine of all French schools abroad by the way!

PARIS in yr Mailbox!

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5 and I'm still at it. Now I live by the Seine on l'Ile Saint-Louis. Do consider subscribing to my Paris letters and maps on Etsy and enjoy a taste of Paris in your mailbox every month to savor with a hot chocolate and croissant. I paint Paris dreams.
